Abstract The study of radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsars discovered by the Fermi Large AreaTelescope is key for pulsar magnetosphere and Galactic neutron star populationmodels. We propose a deep xmm observation of PSR J1809-2332, the radio-quietpulsar in the Taz nebula. Its timing parameters and gamma-ray properties makeit a transition object between the young, Vela-like, and the middle-aged,Geminga-like, pulsars. Thus, studying its X and gamma-ray emission is crucial toprobe the radio quietness/loudness in pulsars of different ages. We will use XMMto search for X-ray pulsations from PSR J1809-2332, detail its timing andspectral properties, and resolve its emission from that of its nebula by usingalso archival Chandra data.

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
